Academic schools, administrative units, and student organizations come together as the USC Well-being Collective to work towards a common agenda: strengthening a campus culture driven by well-being.

The USC Well-being Collective was founded in January of 2019 when the USC Division of Student Affairs, USC Student Health, and the Title IX Office joined together to apply the Collective Impact Framework to achieve outcomes that make USC a better place to live, learn, work, and play.

Inherent in this common agenda is the commitment to four strategic goals:

Goal 1: To enhance a culture of equity and inclusion
Goal 2: To create a culture where individuals and communities thrive
Goal 3: To disrupt the culture of at-risk substance use
Goal 4: To foster a culture of consent and healthy relationships

Our Backbone

The Office for Health Promotion Strategy is embedded in USC Student Health and serves as an administrative core in an infrastructure of campus partners. As the backbone organization for the USC Well-being Collective, the Office for Health Promotion Strategy works with partners to activate systems level change as they align to the common agenda. A cohort of students, known as Community Health Organizers, also make up part of this backbone.
